Worst matchup for Mike TYSON ?

Prime Ali
Prime Holmes
Prime Lewis

I know Holmes was n't included in scenario but I felt he had to factor.

 

70's Foreman
Hoylfield probably always has his number
Vitali
Mercer might be a horrible matchup

 

Foreman definitely.

 

Any version of Foreman. Prime Holmes. Douglas from Tokyo. Ali. Liston.

 

Buster Douglas.

 

I think Ali is the best guy Tyson could beat. I think he’s got all the wrong stuff for Ali.

 

I think Tyson is honestly one of the worst match ups you could ever make for Foreman.

 

Why?

Short, smaller reached, not as physically strong, come forward attacking fighters fail dismally against George going by history.

What makes Tyson any different?

 

Ali.

 

Vitali
Frazier

 

Nothing Tyson brings to the table is any different other than his hand speed. Tyson would be just another short aggressive guy who can't fight backing up and this is the worst kind of boxer you want to send against someone like Foreman. Foreman frames him, manipulates his guard, walks him into uppercuts, and busts him up with the jab all night. The only chance Tyson has would be to blitz Foreman as soon as the bell rings and try to stop him with an all out barrage using his superior hand speed and combination punching. Even then I wouldn't be confident Tyson would win. Foreman had a granite chin and the only time he was KOd was due to exhaustion after punching himself out. No short opponent was able to land a barrage of unanswered shots on Foreman either.

Foreman is an expert at setting up traps and controlling the mid range (both careers actually) and had very underrated defense. Tyson's head movement could actually be his own downfall in this matchup because Foreman would frame him and time him using his longer arms and force Tyson to back off or reset whenever he tried to get close.

 

Always said it, Ali at his prime beats Tyson at his best.

 

Plus, prime Holmes. Say, the Holmes of the Ali fight.

Waiting for No Neck to show up . Need ya here, my friend.

 

Vitali.

Tall, big, rangy, awkward, high volume, and iron chin. He'd be a NIGHTMARE for Tyson.
